Associated Bank recently acknowledged the efforts of its top 20 volunteers for 2013, including Brian Strigel and Michael Trzinski from Stevens Point, each with a $1,000 grant to the nonprofit organization. Strigel and Trzinski both volunteer with Plover Whiting Youth Athletics.

"Having the chance to coach my children, as well as other children throughout the community, is an opportunity that I will always appreciate," said Trzinski. "Youth sports is not about winning or losing, it's about giving kids the opportunity to succeed and do something great."
